Teeth whitening is a popular procedure in cosmetic dentistry to fix discoloration from aging, smoking, and foods like coffee. As enamel thins, stains dim your smile. We provide professional whitening services at Dental North York to boost your confidence. Whether caused by diet or trauma, our treatments restore a bright, youthful appearance safely and effectively.
Natural tooth color comes from white enamel and yellow dentin. Aging and genetics thin the enamel, letting the dentin show through. Stains are absorbed through pores from dark food, drink, tobacco, or poor hygiene. Other causes include tetracycline and excess fluoride. Since most stains are surface deep, professional teeth whitening is highly effective at removing the discoloration.
We offer the most advanced teeth whitening services in North York. Start with a complimentary consultation where our expert conducts a thorough examination for decay or gum disease. We use advanced technology to deliver a flawless, bright set of teeth. We follow an open, honest approach regarding costs and expected results.
This procedure is for living teeth, performed in the office, and usually finishes within an hour. A bleaching gel is applied and activated by a special lamp, letting oxygen enter the enamel to remove stains. The process is without pain and involves three fifteen minute sessions. We provide a kit with trays fitted to custom dimensions for touch up use at home.
This method is performed on a tooth that is not living, often following a root canal treatment. When the stain is deep within the tooth rather than on the surface, the whitening agent is placed into the deeper layer. A temporary filling covers the tooth. After several days, the internal discoloration is eliminated.
Vital whitening treatments work well for surface discoloration, but severe cases may require porcelain veneers or composite bonding. Our dentists safely use bleaching agents and UV light to protect gum tissue with minimal tooth sensitivity. Because whitening is less effective on gray stains or existing restorations like crowns, please consult your North York, ON dentist to choose the right treatment.
Professional whitening offers two main methods. Office whitening is performed by a professional, taking about 90 minutes with results immediately. Home professional whitening uses trays made to custom fit and specific whitening gel available from your dentist. As peroxide breaks down, it whitens stained teeth completely. This method, which takes 10 to 14 days, offers maximum comfort and provides effective, lasting results.
Teeth whitening is our most popular cosmetic procedure due to its quick, noticeable results. Drug store products offer varied success and lack the professional level strength we provide. Our custom application, performed in the North York, ON office, ensures the whitening agent covers the entire tooth surface precisely and thoroughly.
This powerful 40% hydrogen peroxide gel is chemically activated, so no hot light is needed. The process takes 90 minutes with three 20 minute sessions. We apply ingredients like fluoride to minimize tooth sensitivity. Color matching is done before and after the procedure so you can see the difference immediately.
For gentle, safe results, we fabricate trays that fit the shape of the teeth precisely at our North York, ON office. We provide the bleaching material and full instructions for application at home. For maximal results, we recommend following the office based bleaching with two weeks of using the home trays.
Before any whitening procedure, your dentist must evaluate your overall dental health and hygiene to confirm you are a candidate. If you plan restorative work like veneers, crowns, or composite bonding, complete those procedures first. This ensures the restoration’s shade matches your newly whitened teeth. We may also recommend a dental hygiene appointment so your teeth are polished and prepared before starting the whitening treatment.
We always take care of your smile
